WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles,
latch
plates,
retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly. Look for any loose
parts or damage. If you see anything that
might keep a restraint system from doing
its job, have it repaired.
Inspect the front and rear suspension and
steering system for damaged, loose or
missing parts, signs of wear, or lack of
lubrication. Inspect the power steering
lines and hoses for proper hookup,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
Clean and then inspect the drive axle
boot seals for damage, tears or leakage.
Replace seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system.
Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections,
or other conditions which could cause a
heat build-up in the floor pan or could let
exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See
"Engine Exhaust" in the Index.
